Results of the 2021 Telephone Pioneer QSO Party

I received 15 logs from the 2021 Telephone Pioneers QSO party. The results are shown below and are sorted alphabetically by call sign.

I spent a little time analyzing the results, leading to the following observations:

• 310 contacts were logged (inflated number since many were reported by both ends)
• 166 contacts with Pioneers were reported.
• 144 contacts with non-Pioneer hams were reported (by 9 participants).

20 unique Pioneer chapter numbers were logged. They were:

• 1 Illinois
• 6 Liberty Bell
• 17 Iowa
• 21 Tennessee
• 24 Louisiana
• 30 Washington
• 34 Alabama
• 41 Oklahoma
• 50 MTS Pioneers
• 51 New Brunswick
• 56 ??
• 59 Saskatchewan
• 61 South Carolina
• 99 Telcordia
• 105 Newfoundland
• 127 South
• 134 Southern States
• 135 Cross Roads New Outlook
• 500 ??
• 508 Norwesco

11 of these chapters submitted logs.

I look forward to comments from anyone about the event.

• At least two participants suggested earlier start times.
• The 2021 event took place on Sunday and Monday. Is this a good pattern for 2022?
• Digital contacts were nearly nonexistent. I would like to know if any participants attempted to make digital contacts, other than the few that were logged.

Please send your comments to me by email.
